THE STATES FINANCIAL TROUBLES.
Important Question Likely to Be Raised Re-
garding the Payment of Appropriations.

The States financial troubles grow more aud
more perplexing, and there is probability,
from the present outlook, that there will be
any relief from the en- barrassment during the
next two years. There is now in the general
fund less than 50, 000 and. with the exception of
a few thousand dollars Of insurance tax, the
Treasurer has no available resources for meet
ing demands between and the semi
annual settlements of counties in December.
During the next two months $4,000 will be
needed to pay current expenses, including $780,
900 due the judiciary. and $4,000 required for
the maintenance of the State institutions.
Treasurer Lemcke is hoping that the insurance
tax will be efficient to meet urgent demands
until next month, but Auditor Carr says
that the receipts from this source of revenue
will amount to only a few thousand dollars. In
consequence. judges and prosecuting attorneys
will probably find, when they present their
warrants for the payment OF their salaries
for the last quarter, that there is money in
the treasury, and that they will be compelled to
wait for their pay. Some OF the counties can
probably be induced to settle in advance, but il
enough is obtained from them to pay the ex-
penses of August. Septem Der and October. there
will be little left OF the December revenues.
The trustees of the Knightstown Home have,
it is understood, determined to go on with their
work. and regardless of the Governors order
that they should draw no more money, they will
demand the balance of their appropriation when
ever there Is enough in the Treasury to
their wants They claim that the Governor has
no right whatever to order that they
shall not be paid money appro-
priated by the Legislature for their use and
Auditor Carr cannot refuse to issue them
rant whenever the money is in the treasury,
matter what the financial condticn of the State
may be. OF course, II the trustees do demand
the balance Of their appropriation the general
fund will be again exhausted in December as
soon as the semi-annual settlements have been
made and the State will be without funds dur
ing the next six months.
The determination Of the trustees OF the
Kniehtstown Home to use their appropriation is
likely to cause a new and very important ques-
ton TO be raised Nearly all special appropria-
tons contain n clause that makes their availa-
bility conditional upon funds not otherwise
appropriated" and If the State institutions are
likely to be made to suffer by tho withdrawal of
funds for special use, question will be raised
as to priority of appropriations. The question
is one which has never been passed upon by the
courts AS basis for action the State officers
may refuse to comply with the demand of the
Knightstown trustees. for the that the
funds on hand have been OTHERWISE appropriat-
ed !" so that the trustees will be compelled to
test the question by resorting to mandamus pro-
ceedings.

Mr.. Carson, the judge, is of II contrary
opinion and refused to turn over the
amount, pending an investigation and
Interpretation of the law by those 80

a demand from three out of four of his

money received on squirrels in the hank
